Effects Of Temperature On Methane Consumption In A Forest Soil And In Pure Cultures Of The Methanotroph Methylomonas Rubra, G. M. King, A. P.S. Adamsen

Faculty Publications

Methane oxidation in soil cores from a mixed hardwood-coniferous forest varied relatively little as a function of incubation temperatures from -1 to 30°C. The increase in oxidation rate was proportional to T2.4 (in kelvins). This relationship was consistent with limitation of methane transport through a soil gas phase to a subsurface zone of consumption by diffusion. The Q10 for CO2 production, 3.4, was substantially higher than that for methane oxidation, 1.1, and indicated that the response of soil respiration to temperature was limited by enzymatic processes and not diffusion of either organic substrates or molecular oxygen. When grown under conditions …

The Hemagglutinin/Esterase Gene Of Human Coronavirus Strain Oc43: Phylogenetic Relationships To Bovine And Murine Coronaviruses And Influenza C Virus, Xuming Zhang, Konstantin G. Kousoulas, Johannes Storz

Faculty Publications

The complete nucleotide sequences of the hemagglutinin/esterase (HE) genes of human coronavirus (HCV) strain OC43 and bovine respiratory coronavirus (BRCV) strain G95 were determined from single-stranded cDNA fragments generated by reverse transcription of virus-specific mRNAs and amplified by polymerase chain reaction. An open reading frame of 1272 nucleotides was identified as the putative HE gene by homology to the bovine coronavirus HE gene. This open reading frame encodes a protein of 424 amino acids with an estimated molecular weight of 47.7 kDa. Ten potential N-linked glycosylation sites were predicted in the HE protein of HCV-OC43 while nine of them were …

Two-Step Polymerase Chain Reactions And Restriction Endonuclease Analyses Detect And Differentiate Ompa Dna Of Chlamydia Spp., B. Kaltenboeck, K. G. Kousoulas, J. Storz

Faculty Publications

Specific and sensitive amplification of major outer membrane protein (MOMP) gene (ompA) DNA sequences of Chlamydia species with various MOMP genotypes was achieved by a two-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Degenerate, inosine-containing oligonucleotide primers homologous to the 5' and 3' ends of the translated regions of all chlamydial MOMP genes were used in a PCR to amplify a DNA fragment of approximately 1,120 bp. A portion of this DNA fragment was amplified in a second genus-specific reaction that yielded a DNA fragment of approximately 930 bp. A pair of degenerate oligonucleotide primers homologous to internal sequences of the primary DNA …

Viable Embryos And Normal Calves After Nuclear Transfer Into Hoechst Stained Enucleated Demi-Oocytes Of Cows, M. E. Westhusin, M. J. Levanduski, R. Scarborough, C. R. Looney, K. R. Bondioli

Faculty Publications

Bovine oocytes were bisected, stained with Hoechst 33342 and observed under a fluorescent microscope to identify nucleated and enucleated demi-oocytes. Other oocytes were bisected but not stained, or bisected and only half of each oocyte stained, and viewed under a fluorescent microscope. The oocytes were then used for nuclear transfer by fusing them with embryonic blastomeres from a 5-6 day bovine embryo. The fusion rate and proportion developing into compact morulae or blastocysts was compared among different types of demi-oocytes. Expt 1 examined the effect of staining and indicated no effect on either fusion rate or embryonic development whether or …

Involvement Of Interleukin 2 Receptors In Conceptus-Derived Suppression Of T And B Cell Proliferation In Horses, T. L. Roth, K. L. White, D. L. Thompson, S. Rahmanian, D. W. Horohov

Faculty Publications

The mechanism by which a horse conceptus-derived immunosuppressive factor (HCS) of M(r) >100 000 inhibits lymphocyte proliferation was investigated. The factor was obtained from the culture supernatants of 20-day-old horse conceptuses; activity, identified by reduced uptake of [3H]thymidine by mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes, was greatest (P0.05). Data from a fluorescence-activated cell sorter indicated that supplementation with HCS reduced the number of T cells in phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated cultures and suppressed proliferation of T and B cells in pokeweed-mitogen-stimulated cultures compared with controls. Cell proliferation was greater (P0.05) from that of control cells. The addition of stimulated equine lymphocyte supernatant to cultures supplemented with HCS …

Coculture Of In Vitro Fertilized Bovine Embryos With Oviductal Epithelial Cells Originating From Different Stages Of The Estrous Cycle, J. K. Thibodeaux, Y. Menezo, J. D. Roussel, W. Hansel, L. L. Goodeaux, D. L. Thompson, R. A. Godke

Faculty Publications

bovine embryos derived from in vitro fertilization procedures were cocultured in vitro with oviductal cells obtained from heifers between d 4 and 6 or d 14 and 16 of the estrous cycle. In addition, proteins secreted by oviductal cells isolated between d 4 and 6 or d 14 and 16 of the cycle were monitored. Embryos (2- to 4-cell) were incubated in Tissue Culture Medium-199 with 10% fetal bovine serum with or without oviductal cells at 39°C for 10 d following in vitro insemination. There were more morulae, blastocysts, and hatched blastocysts following coculture with oviductal cells than with culture …

Effect Of Dietary Sodium Zeolite A And Graded Levels Of Calcium And Phosphorus On Growth, Plasma, And Tibia Characteristics Of Chicks., K. L. Watkins, L. L. Southern

Faculty Publications

Sodium zeolite A (SZA), a synthetic sodium aluminosilicate having a high ion exchange capacity, has been shown to influence Ca and P utilization in chickens. A 3 x 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments was used to investigate the effect of dietary P (.41, .55, and .69% total P), Ca (.6 and 1%), and SZA (0 and .75%) on growth, plasma, and tibia characteristics of chicks from 5 to 15 days of age. Growth, feed intake, gain:feed ratio, and tibia characteristics were influenced by dietary Ca and P in a manner consistent with dietary recommendations for these macro minerals. …
